  • Just be aware of the volatility in the market and of course to the uncertainty to northern rock.

    If you are thinking of buying share, you can try HSBC investdirect or some brokerage firm like H-L, selftrade, etc.

    I think there were a few recommended ones here.

    Make sure you know what the business is well enough before you put your money. £1 lost is £1 lost.
